A stylish, elegant and modern lounge chair

The CH401 lounge chair designed by Hans J. Wegner in 1954 is part of the minimalist Kastrup Series that is still in use as inviting seating areas in Copenhagen Airport to this day.
The simple, tubular-steel design of the CH401 lounge chair proved that upholstered furniture did not need to be large or bulky. Wegner covered the sides and seat where the fabric was attached to the frame with a thin steel strip, creating a very clean look.
The design is not only aesthetic, however. The construction of the CH401 lounge chair is carefully considered to be exceptionally durable for long-term use.
The CH401 lounge chair is available in fabric and leather. The rest of the Kastrup Series comprises of various elegant sofas in a variety of different sizes.
